Lady JenniAnn (full name: JenniAnn Dwynwen Chandler of Willowveil or Serensylvana) is Jenni's fictional counterpart.  Think of her as Larry David on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or even Jerry on "Seinfeld."  She's a character who has a lot in common (even a name) with her portrayer but is still fictional because they also differ in many ways.  So basically please don't assume LJA's words, actions, beliefs, family and romantic situations, etc. are necessarily those of the real Jenni.  Now for a bit of history...

Lady JenniAnn was born in the United States to a (mostly) typical family.  Unfortunately, one day her nanny, who was working on a manuscript, placed baby LJA in a handbag and the manuscript in her buggy.  She then left the handbag and the baby in a closet.  (Kudos to you if you know what famous play *that* was copied from.)  From there she somehow ended up in Dyeland (known to her then as Asteriana) but eventually little LJA somehow wandered off, slipped into a portal, and ended up in New York City.  There she was taken in by Vincent.  Eventually, her cousin, Catherine, helped her get reunited with her birth parents.  JenniAnn continued to visit Vincent, later designated as her godfather, every summer and at other times.  Never quite forgetting Dyeland, JenniAnn returned to Asteriana in 1998, at which point it was dubbed Dyeland, and built it up to accommodate her friends from JABB.  On St. Patrick's Day 2000 she discovered Andrew was real and thus began her descent into crazed, unrequited love.  This led to such stellar behavior as: living on his porch for a week, stalking him during one of his assignments, trying to get him to go to relationship counseling with her, running away in tears to her cousin/godfather numerous times, storming Kiwi's tree house under the belief Andrew was being held captive there, becoming engaged for about two days to Andrew's nemesis, Eben, obsessively cleaning and cooking during Andrew's murder trial, and posing as an evil vamp in order to be with Andrew during his imprisonment by a mad doctor who invaded Dyeland in November of 2005.  Thankfully, after that her author decided that a psychologically realistic character was more interesting than a stereotyped caricature and LJA became a decent character.  In recent years LJA has been making great strides in becoming a productive, well-rounded individual.  For a time she had a boyfriend: Eliot, Vincent's protege.  Eliot and LJA eventually broke up when she came to realize she was still in love with Andrew.  So now her life centers around Andrew and all her friends in Dyeland.  When not in Dyeland she's often found teaching a religion class in the Tunnels.

Lady JenniAnn resides at Willowveil Castle in Dyeland City but also keeps a small cottage on the island of Serensylvana and a chamber Below.  When she's not still obsessing over Andrew, she can usually be found visiting with friends, occasionally running about the Renaissance Faire on Idlewild, or sipping coffee at Monica's Cafe.  She's also responsible for helping Dyeland's resident magician, Cliff, plan and create Dyeland's buildings and landscaping.  Her favorite JABB newsletters are all of the ones that involve Andrew.
